There will be no down time associated with this maintenance however there may be less than optimal routes during this time. The maintenance window till last until 6:00AM EST. Here is the maintenance notice we were sent:

Datacenter Engineers will be performing maintenance on the core network equipment Monday March 3rd starting at 2:00am EST. During this time, engineers will be installing new Cisco best of breed 7606-S chassis with RSP720-3CXL-GE supervisor engines as Customer Edge Routers (CER), integrating a fully meshed multi-10Gbps distribution core utilizing existing Cisco 6509 chassis with new VS-S720-10G-3CXL supervisor engines (DAR), and upgrading our current infrastructure to our Frontend Customer Routers (FCR). As these routers will replace the entire edge network currently in place, certain providers out of the Datacenter network will be unavailable at various points during this time. We do not expect any customer impact; however, customers may notice sub optimal routing while routes reconverge over a different path.
